AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door is here, with today’s pay-per-view set to take place at SAP Center in San Jose, California — and fresh betting odds have been released ahead of the show.
According to lines posted by BetOnline, Jon Moxley enters his AEW Continental Championship defense against Bandido as a massive -1100 favorite, with Bandido listed as a +550 underdog. Those numbers represent a shift from where Moxley’s odds stood last week, when he was listed at even longer odds — meaning the market has moved at least slightly in Bandido’s direction as the event has approached, though Moxley remains an overwhelming pick to retain.
For context, -1100 odds mean a bettor would need to wager $1,100 just to profit $100, reflecting just how dominant the consensus expectation is that Moxley walks out of San Jose still holding the Continental title. At +550, a successful $100 bet on Bandido would return $550 — a long shot, but one that carries a meaningful payout for anyone willing to back the luchador.
Moxley has been one of AEW’s most dominant forces in recent months, and the Continental Championship match is among the higher-profile bouts on what is traditionally one of the promotion’s most stacked cards of the year. The AEW-NJPW partnership has produced some of the most memorable moments in both companies’ recent histories, and Forbidden Door continues to serve as the annual showcase of that crossover relationship.
Whether the crowd in San Jose sees an upset or business as usual from Moxley, the card is set and the time for talk is over.
